AMUSEMENT NOTES.

The McNish, Johnson & SIavin's min
strels opened their engagement to full
house at the Grand last night, and judy
Ing from the tone of enthusiasm which
prevailed their entertainment was fully
up to public expectation. The troupe
continues to sustain it's reputation as a
minstrel organization, and the special
ties which have been added to the show
are first-class. Bob Slavin is as popular
as ever and just as mirth-provoking.
McNish continues to repeat his silent
fun speciality, and Carroll Johnson sus-
tains the heavy gentleman part of the
show. Next to Slavin Burt Haverly
seemed to be the popular comedian last
evening. He and johnson do some
clever and original funny work in the
HOd Fellow performance. Hilton, the
equilibrist, and Rama and Amo, the
groteSque gymnasts, did their work in
most admirable style. The same per-

With the object of giving some one of
the great mass of struggling humanity a
start in life the GLOBE has determined
to originate and carry out a plan which
it is pleased to designate ''The Babies
Benefit" The GLOBE has purchased an
eligible lot in the center of the present
limits of st. Paul. There is nothing rash
Or improbable in the assertion that the
lot will easily bring $4,000 before a
baby at the present time becomes of age.
1t is proposed to give this lot, free of any
incumbrance, to some baby who is for
tunate enough to hold the lucky num-
Der. The deed will be made to the pa
rents, who will be required to hold the
lot in trust for the child until it becomes
of age. There is no charge for tickets.
They are FREE TO ALL-who have ba-
bies born between January L, 1887, and
August 1, 1887. The parents have only
to clip out and fill the following blank,
enclose it in an envelope, and send it to

THE KIRMESS CLOSES,
Victor Drury Delivers an EIo-
0uent Address.

Last evening, the closing night of the
kirmess, was marked by the largest at
tendance of the season, and from the
time the doors were opened until almost
time for closing well-wishefs of the Ii
brary came flowing in in steady stream
The stage performance began promptly
at S o'clock, and was the grand chorus
of children which has been presented
so successfully once or twice under the
management of Prof. Willard. A fine
programme was rendered. Everything
was in perfect time and was greeted
with frequent applause. After the stage
performance there was small auction.
at which various articles of clothing.
household goods, and the like, were dis
posed of at fabulous prices. The voting
on the few remaining articles was more
than lively and the sale of ice cream and
refreshing drinks was truly wonderful
The liermesS has been complete sue
cess from the start, owing to the untir-
irg efforts of those having the matter in
charge, and the library fund will re-
ceive handsome benefit. The East
side labor club, headed by A. L. Linnan,
waf present in full force, and on arriv-

oGoiuG Fishing,

Yesterday was the last day of grace
given the gamblers to close their places
of business by the police commission.
The gamblers obeyed the order to the
letter; even closing their houses before
the expiration of the time. At Flanni-
gan, Sullivan 81 ShaW'S house, 205
Nicollet avenue, the men employed
there were paid off Wednesday night
and no games were dealt yesterday. At
the firms other house, 219 Hennepin
avenue, the same rule was OBJ
served. Tanners house, Sol NicOl-
let avenue, was dead to the world
after 4 p. M, and Blakey's room,
253 Hennepin avenue, was vacated
in the morning, the furniture being
removed. The dealers, pluggers and
gamblers were out summing themselves
yesterday, and in answer to inquiries as
to what they intended to do, invariably
said, ''going fishing" 1t is, of course,
fully understood that gambling is to be
conducted hereafter as it was during
the Pillsbury administration
,lockIand key and in private rooms at
hotels. The three houses closed were
all run upon the square, and but little
complaint has ever been made concern
ing them.

The Smart Boston SaleswOman.

One of the visitors to a prominent
Boston millinery establishment the
other day was a lady who was evidently
seeking an article OF headgear that was
both neat and cheap, but who, think
ing it would be derogatory to her
dignity to state exactly what she de-
sired, consumed the time and the pa
thence of the saleswoman by her in
spection Of nearly every hat or bonnet
in the place. She had one invariable
comment rs she returned each article
to the saleswoman and that was that
IL was "too decided" whatever that
might be. At length she said with an
air of extreme condescension and in
the same unintclligible phraseolog,
what would like to see is one OF
those nondescript nothings-you know
what / mean" The saleswoman had
not the remotest idea of what was
meant, but disguised with the trifier
and of her monotonous comment on
what had been shown her, replied ironi-
callv: II am sorry, madam. l can
not suit you. but we neither deal with
nor in nondescript nothings; on the con-
trary, our goods and our patrons are
all very decided. - Boston Budget
